I am a former soloist with the New York City Ballet and Miami City Ballet. When I was a young student, I was always looking for insights into the ballet world and how to improve my dancing as well as beauty and lifestyle tips. Now that I am a professional, it is my turn to share.

On my channel I make ballet, beauty, and lifestyle videos for everyone of all ages. My goal is help dancers improve and achieve their dreams as well as open up the ballet world to non dancers. You will see many different kinds of how-to videos here including makeup, hair, ballet workouts and exercises, Q and A sessions, lifestyle advice, and DIY on this channel. I hope you find all of my videos helpful!

If you’re a dancer who’s on break, has nowhere to take class, wants to stay in shape but will not leave the couch unless you’re told what to do, this is the perfect video for you!
So glad to have found something that works my entire body and is challenging but doesn’t make me want to die inside! Thanks Katie😊

I loved this so much. I'm always very wary of workouts from non-dancers; I'm scared that I'll injure myself or work the wrong muscles. It's so nice to have one especially for dancers, with stretching included too! I used two pairs of dead pointe shoes as weights!

[abbyrodgers]

You should make more full body workouts for dancers since most dance studios have temporarily closed <3

[aaammmppp]

I've been doing this every day during quarantine. It's amazing how in shape I still feel

[juliak]

This is perfect! Now I don’t have to jump videos to get a full body workout and stretch in one sitting. Thanks!!!!

[annmariekennedy]

Thank you for saving me! Love your workouts and your “real” personality- I am a former ballet dancer (60yrs old now) and after running and cycling for the past ten years, I am getting back to my body- it feels so great! Thank you❤️.

I am so happy that I stumbled onto this video! COVID-19 hit my motivation "mojo" the hardest. I went from exercising regularly and working on a dance for a pageant, to ... nothing. 13 months of NOTHING. Not even walking around the block. Just last week, my motivation "mojo" came back and I crept back into a few outdoor water aerobics classes and a few Silver Sneakers cardio YouTube workouts (I'm 68 years old). Today, I found this video, and actually made it through the WHOLE THING! I had great dancer technique training in my 20's and it's amazing that my mind and my body remembers that almost 45-50 years later. Your kindness was key. I didn't worry about my extensions being only 90 degrees. I was feeling like a young dancer again! THANK PS I never could point, and am taking to heart that the toe exercises are key.

Thank you! I was just looking for an at-home workout!
Have you thought about making an app for all of these warm-ups, stretches and steps?

[IrisLOVEStodance]

I know I am VERY late but just had to say how effective this is. I am sooo sore and feel so much stronger. Strongly recommend this exercise. For real this is so good. Thank you Ms.Kathryn! 🥰

I just got home from Boston ballets five week intensive and i was worried because i don’t have class for a week and i was worried about loosing what i gained during the intensive. But this video will be great for me to do this week as well as through this year because i can do a nice long workout if modify for my time and needs each day! Thank you for spending so much time and hard work to make this video!

[hannahkirkpatrick]

I just did your beginner ballet barre to help focus on my technique and now I am doing this!

[californiacanine]

Thank you so very much for this video! I am 54 years old and have had surgery on both knees. I can't get motivated to do boring PT stretches and exercises. Working with your videos has taken me back to my younger days! I am really enjoying stretching and working again. Had a barre installed in my home and work out with you every day now. :)
